Will, Trusts & Estates Services

Q: How long does a typical case take?

Case duration varies significantly depending on complexity, cooperation of other parties, and court schedules. Simple cases may resolve in months, while complex litigation can take years. We provide realistic timelines during consultation.

Q: Do you offer free consultations?

Yes, we offer free initial consultations for most of our services. This allows us to assess your case and provide advice on the best way forward without any obligation.

Q: How do I get started with a legal case?

Getting started is simple. You can contact us through our website, call our helpline, or visit one of our offices. We offer free initial consultations for many of our services.

Q: What are your fees and how do you charge?

Our fee structure varies depending on the type of case. We offer no-win, no-fee arrangements for personal injury cases, fixed fees for some services, and hourly rates for others. We always discuss fees upfront.

Our expert solicitors help you structure your estate to protect your wealth, support your loved ones, and minimise tax.

Choosing the right services for you

We originally focussed on criminal law, but by the 1980s we were working on some of the UK’s most high-profile personal injury cases, including:

As our reputation grew around the country, it was time for the firm to grow with it. In 1989, we opened our second office in Birmingham.

This growth continued into the 1990s with a series of mergers and acquisitions and offices opening in Leeds and London. By 2007, we’d moved into Newcastle, Manchester, and Glasgow as well. Expansion in the South of England continued through the 2010s.

Through this journey, Irwin Mitchell has become the largest full-service law firm in the UK with leading private client and business legal departments. We’ve also developed a highly-respected wealth management service after helping thousands of clients manage large compensation settlements.
